1. Improving the experimental setup for ultrasound-optical tomography imaging
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematikAbstract : According to Bröstcancer förbundet, mammography is not efficient at detecting tumors in dense breast tissue or diagnosing breast cancer at its early stages. Ultrasound-optical tomography (UOT) is an imaging technique in development and has the potential for deep-tissue imaging. READ MORE

2. Anisotropic Muscle Phantoms for Shear Wave Elastography Assessment of the Levator Ani Muscle Properties
University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystemAbstract : Pelvic floor disorder is an emerging research area and is highlighted in many pelvic floor studies. Assessment methods for this type of injury are lacking and new methods for prevention and diagnosis are needed. Pelvic floor disorders are common among women and can lead to suffering for the patient. READ MORE

4. Development of patient-specific fetal head phantom for experimental evaluation of vacuum assisted delivery
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)Abstract : Vacuum assisted delivery (VAD) is a common procedure used in the final stage of labor in the situation of a difficult natural delivery. Since the only biomechanical studies concerning the clinical safe traction force were conducted during 70s using simplified models to mimic the fetal head, concerns remain regarding the side effects of this medical intervention when applying high levels of traction forces.

5. Development of a Tool for Imaging the Pumping-Out Behavior of Poly- Vinyl Alcohol Shelled Microbubbles
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)Abstract : For many years, microbubbles have been used as ultrasound contrast agents to improve the quality of diagnostics, seeing that they produce more backscattering ultrasound than blood does. Novel types of microbubbles and increased knowledge about their different behaviors have led to other suggested areas of use. READ MORE
